Hi, Todd– I think you must have been looking at this trailer from an Internet message: Victoria A. Smith New Mexico Technet, Inc. Internet : vsmith@technet.nm.org 4100 Osuna NE, Suite 103 (505) 345-6555 Albuquerque, NM 87109 Note the "Inc." and the Internet address that does not end with ".edu" as I expect a school's address to do. –Doug

Thanks for your reply. I am an alumni of New Mexico Tech located in socorro, New Mexico. This is seventy miles south of Albuquerque. I know the adress given is not the school address, I simply wanted to find out if this is affiliated with New Mexico Tech or not. These people could be alumni and perhaps this is an alumni organization. They should have responded to this if they are. The NMIMT should have caught their eye on the message board. Thank you again.

Hi, Todd– It is unlikely the NMIMT people can see your message here, unless they have CIS accounts I am not aware of. The message I posted was received via the Internet – Internet users cannot look into CIS forums (maybe that will change someday), though we CIS users can subscribe to their mail-lists, if a little clumsily. You can CISmail to the Internet address in my last message (the address must be prefixed with ">INTERNET:" when filling in the CISmail "To:" field), and ask about their affiliations, or even though you have not subscribed, I believe you can send to ">INTERNET:rocks-and-fossils@world.std.com" and have it forwarded to everyone on the list – but answers sent the same way will not come to you unless you subscribe to the list, so be sure to specify that answers should be directed to your ID if you take that route. –Doug

Thanks Doug, I understand, however if all this is true why did this women even bother to post this if it is that difficult to reply? How did she get on in the first place?

Hi, Todd– She did not post it in the forum; she sent it to the rocks-and-fossils mail-list. Since I am a subscriber, rocks-and-fossils automatically forwards such things to me (along with hundreds of others), and I posted a copy here in the forum. I have stopped doing that since the volume on that mail-list has increased, and will instead be posting collections of such messages in the library (look for RM0001.ARC for the first of these). INTERN.TXT in the library contains the discussion I had posted here a few weeks back on how this all works. –Doug
